Abstract

We present the implementation of the dipole subtraction formalism for the real radiation contributions to any next-to-leading order QCD process in the MadGraph/MadEvent framework. Both massless and massive dipoles are considered. Starting from a specific ( n +1)-particle process the package provides a Fortran code for all possible dipoles to all Born processes that constitute the subtraction term to the ( n +1)-particle process. The output files are given in the usual ``MadGraph StandAlone'' style using helicity amplitudes.
